Niki’s Chili

Ingredients

• 1 lbs ground beef or turkey
• 1 green bell pepper chopped
• 1 small yellow onion chopped
• 1 15 oz can diced tomato
• 15 oz can tomato sauce
• 1 cup water
• 1 can kidney beans drained and rinsed
• 1.5 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• 1/2 tbsp cumin
• 1/2 tbsp paprika
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/4 tsp baking soda

Directions

STEP ONE: In a large pot, saute the diced bell pepper and onions in olive oil until they’re translucent and start to caramelize.

STEP TWO: Add in your seasoning, minus the baking soda. Cook for one to two minutes while stirring continuously

STEP THREE: Add your ground meat and brown until it’s just done. It’s okay if it still has some pink in it before you add the rest of your ingredients because you’re going to continue cooking it.

STEP FOUR: Pour in your tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and water

STEP FIVE: Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook for about 15 minutes. Add the drained beans.

STEP SIX: Stir in the baking soda, if desired. This will cause the sauce to start to bubble up. Keep stirring over medium-high heat until the bubbles have gone away, then reduce the heat.

STEP SEVEN: Remove from heat and you’re ready to serve.
